Sit and read or relax on the sandy beach or launch your kayak or paddle board and enjoy time on the water. This is a special place where time seems to slip away in the most luxurious way! Let 2023 be the year to secure your coastal retreat and start making memories to last a lifetime! Detailed information on the setting and new nearby communities is available in the MLS.
